Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ive got a problem with my carby, after i used carby cleaner through it a little while ago, the revs wont come down very smoothly or quickly after it has been under load i.e. free reving doesn't do it.
After driving along, i can either back off the throttle, or put the clutch in, and the revs will drop to about 1900, then slowly come down (sometimes notchy) to about 1100 - 1000, then drop to idle. This happens on both LPG and petrol, on petrol i tested with the gas hat not on, and no filter, so just the carby on its own, and it still did it. I have sprayed deoderant around the carby bottom to see if it is sucking from elsewhere, but it doens't seem to be. I have sprayed heaps of RP7 around inside the carby to try and lube up the butterflys. Any thoughts?

i think there might be something to do with something on the carby that makes the idle dropped down slowly like that, its a stupid emissions thing but i cant remember where it is or how to disarm it.

its like something that holds your throttly open partially when you back right off

The dashpot but it would do it everytime not just under the circumstances outlined above, I always adjust them out of the way, heaps better.

I just reread your post go with Josh's idea and remove/adjust the dash pot (round funny looking thing with a button that contacts the accelerator linkage almost as it closes). From memory they are designed to hold the revs up a few hundred to burn any excess fuel before lowering back to idle, this all happens in 1 second or so. Bloody stupid things and makes driving the car harder also.

cheers

you have dried out the linkages and bushes on the carbie.
hit teh outside with a good helping of INOX and work it into the bushes and around all the linkages ( solenoid aswell)

i should have siad that i also sprayed excesive amounts of rp7 on the outside linkages and everything that looks like it should move, and nothing.

A mate at work said that there is a small amount of grease on the shafts of the butterfly's (inside), and that i may have cleaned some of that out of 1 of them.... i'm not really up for a carby rebuild atm......
